I can create custom activities with a custom activity designer using WorkItemsPresenter. Sub-activities can be drag into my custom activity. But each of sub-activities sit side by side.
Is there a way to connect those sub-activities using wire like Flowchart or StateMachine activity?
Thanks
In Visual Studio, you add a new Activity (.xaml file). Then use the toolbox to add a container (you can add sequence, flowchart, state machine) There is some basic tutorials for each on MSDN.
Then you add your custom activities from the toolbox (if you just added the custom activity, make sure that dll is referenced and that you have performed a build to see it)

I am using Activiti 1.9.03 and Alfresco 5.2.4 enterprise versions. I have a requirement where I have to maintain the version of the generated report document and also uploaded document (if user edits it). Right now After each user tasks, I am adding two Publish to Alfresco tasks. This is making the workflow diagram unreadable.
I want to know the following things.
Is there any other way to handle versioning in Activiti instead of pushing the content to the Alfresco?
How can I upload the content programatically using JAVA or Javascript task in a listener, so that I don't have to keep the Publish to Alfresco tasks in the workflow definition. OR
Is there any way to hide the Publish to Alfresco tasks on the workflow diagram?
Any help will be appreciated...
Thank you
In APS,There are Services like AlfrescoService,AlfrescoContentService.
You can autowire those services in your Listner and you can use REST Call.
I am working on an application which interact with a database and construct reports, I want this application to be extensible and I can in the future to integrate custom report builders to the application as plugins.
I have some question about the plugin architecture supported by Qt:
Can I load the plugins in there own processes ?
How could I send some custom QML type from the plugin to main application and hook some event handlers on it.
Another question: is there any framework to develop service based qt application ?
Can I load the plugins in there own processes ?
Not with the plugin mechanism (QPluginLoader). The plugin mechanism dynamically loads libraries (different threads are possible). However, your plugins can be a normal application, that gets started by your main application via QProcess, and exchange data via stdin/stdout (or other IPC mechanisms)
How could I send some custom QML type from the plugin to main application and hook some event handlers on it.
In case you use normal plugins, simply add method that returns the created QML object. Have a look at:https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-cppintegration-interactqmlfromcpp.html#loading-qml-objects-from-c
In case you want to use the multi process version, it gets slightly more complicated. Pass the QML code via stdout and create it in your main application. Pass some "communicator" object to this created QML object, so that the QML type can send back data via that communicator to it's original process.
How do I add code activies to my hosted workflows in WF4.5? I know that when I create a new workflow application in VS, then hit F6 to compile it, it shows up in the toolbox. But with out creating an assembly that one of my users would have to import, how do I create a toolbox [code] activity in WF4.5?
Here's an article that discusses loading custom activities into the toolbox on a rehosted WF4 application: http://msmvps.com/blogs/theproblemsolver/archive/2009/12/23/rehosting-the-workflow-designer-in-wf4.aspx
Where I can find example for workflow implementation? Actually we are not able to attach workflow definition to a Page or Component. We have created new Workflow definition for Page and Component when we open a page and go to Workflow tab it is showing "Approval Status: Undefined"
We recently upgraded from Tridion 5.3 to Tridion 2011 SP1, we have executed the step mentioned in Upgrade manual "Upgrading existing default Workflow Process
Definitions"
As per my understanding under workflow tab we should be able to select workflow definition to be followed by Page or Component
For Pages, Workflow Processes are attached to Structure Groups (you'll be able to select the Process Definition in the Workflow Tab of the Structure Group). When attached to a SG, any page that you create or edit in that SG will start the workflow for that item. Note that Structure Group's do not inherit this setting, so every SG you'll have to attach the process to.
For Components, Workflow Processes are attached to the Schema (you'll be able to select the Process Definition in the Workflow Tab of the Schema). When a Schema has a workflow, any Component that is created or edited using that schema will be put into a workflow.
Note that child Publications won't automatically have Components and Pages kick into workflow. For example, if your schemas with attached Process Definitions are at the 010 level, and your components are at the 020 level, you'll have to go to the Workflow Tab in the Publication properties of your 020 level and make sure to check "Enable Workflow Process Associations in Shared Schemas and Structure Groups".
Hope that helps!
Needed to understand your inputs on: Is there a way in Tridion 2011 to Publish or Unpublish components/pages/templates in a custom resolver code. I understand we can play with the list of resolved items. (By giving a CP,etc). But is there a way to push an item in the publishing Q from a custom resolver code.
You can add or remove any number of items to be part of the existing package / transaction.
If you want it to be part of a new entry in the Publishing Queue instead, the event system seems more appropriate than a resolver. But the items you are publishing automatically won't show up in the "Items to Publish" screen if you Publish them separately, so you need to decide if that's a good thing or not.
Peter (and Nuno) have really answered your question in the best way. You should use a resolver to add the Pages or Component Presentations to the package rather than making new publish transactions. However you can publish items using the core service, so there is no reason you could not call the core service from a resolver and initiate your new publish actions that way.
However it does not sound like a good idea, perhaps you can update you question to explain why you need to do this.
I used to use the PublishEngine object in my templates to add items to the Publish Queue (see http://www.tridiondeveloper.com/the-story-of-sdl-tridion-2011-custom-resolver-and-the-allowwriteoperationsintemplates-attribute), but custom resolvers and other techniques are far superior.
